Nice of Corsair to lead the flash memory market with good products. Most flash product manufacturers (mostly based in Taiwan) seem to ship much outdated slower chips. Price differences are small.

I bought one of these for $92 American and this thing is blazing fast, no corruption in files, no crc errors, its smooth and I am SOOOOO happy I bought it. I recomment this to anyone that is financially in the market... I mean c'mon, its shock prrof, water-proof, and a 10yr warranty... WOW

I am extremely happy with mine and already convinced 3 friends to buy them, none of my friends have been dissappointed thus far.

Water-proof sounds good. The only USB flash card I have is just 128MB and not water-proof.

I guess you guys didn't read this, 8Gig USB 2 for the same price.

I seen these but they are too large and bulky for my taste... I like the thinline series like the corsair I referred too... after all... size does matter

I read it before, but it is an HDD, not flash. That is why it is so heavy and large. A 1GB MicroSD card weighs only 1 gram.

A 2.5-inch 120GB HDD weighs about 100 grams. 40 grams for a portableUSB device, too much.

The warranty is much longer as well.

Now that's something I gotta get.

*Kenshin* · 26-07-2006

I could if I could get some at the same cost. MicroSD cards though based on the same NAND flash technology of similar speeds are far more expensive yet. A 1GB MicroSD costs in Seoul about US$35-$40.

Flash needs to ge 4x faster and 4x cheaper by next year.

**xtacydima** · 27-07-2006

So far all 8GB+ drives I seen have been huge, and least too large and bulky to carry for my tasts. The 4GB drives seem to be the cut-off barrier thus far for capacity:unit size ratio.

2GB 133x SD Card US$20 including shipping.
